Neck Cord Relaxation

Reduce the Appearance of Neck Cords with ThermiRase®

Neck cords are strands of tissue that start at the base of the neck and run up on the left and right sides to meet around your jaw, causing frown lines to become more prominent. ThermiRase® is a revolutionary procedure that targets and relaxes the nerves responsible for neck cords to ultimately reduce their appearance. Because ThermiRase® is a micro-invasive procedure with long-lasting results, it is preferred over BOTOX® Cosmetic neck treatments and surgical neck lifts. Schedule your consultation today to learn whether you are a good candidate for a ThermiRase® neck cords treatment.

The ThermiRase® Experience

Before your ThermiRase® treatment, an external nerve stimulator is used to map out the nerves that cause unwanted muscle movements that create the neck cords. Local anesthesia may be applied to the treatment area to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure. A very small probe is then inserted under the skin, using low-energy stimulation to confirm the nerve location.

Once the nerve location is confirmed, radio frequency energy is delivered to inactivate the nerves (nerve ablation) that cause the involuntary muscle movements that create the neck cords. The results are immediate and, in most cases, last longer than one year.

After a ThermiRase® treatment, you may resume normal activities. Some patients may experience minor swelling and bruising in the treatment area that should dissipate within a few days.

ThermiRase Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How Does ThermiRase® Compare to Botox?

Neck cords are caused by the involuntary movement of muscles controlled by motor nerves. BOTOX Cosmetic® and other neurotoxins temporarily inhibit the signal transmission from these motor nerves to the muscles. These chemical neuromodulators usually work for 3-4 months before another treatment is necessary. ThermiRase® is a micro-injectable procedure that uses radiofrequency to ablate the nerve. The results are immediate and last much longer (up to 18 months), avoiding the injection of a toxin.

How Many ThermiRase® Treatments Will I Need?

Generally, only one ThermiRase® treatment is needed to relax the neck bands and reduce their appearance.

How Soon Will I See Results After a ThermiRase® Treatment?

Results are noticed immediately after one treatment. Many patients have also seen a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the neck cords.

How Long Will ThermiRase® Results Last?

Although results vary from patient to patient, some have seen results last over a year and a half. Many patients can expect results to last between twelve to eighteen months.
